Apparently, I vid completely differently than everyone else

I ranted over in fanvidrants about the current trend I'm seeing of songs being all chopped down to less than two minutes. And how much I hate it. Apparently, no one agrees with me. And all the comments are making me think that I don't vid the same way everyone else apparently does.

I don't start with a story and try to find a song or part of a song that fits it. It all starts with the song and I vid the song. That's it. I'm not trying to shove things together that only work if I use this little bit here and that bit there.

Not that either way is necessarily right or wrong. It just seems odd that I seem to have such a fundamentally different view of creating a vid. It's weird...

I've only made a few vids and I got inspiration from a couple of places. Most of my vids come from the song first and then trying to find the 'images' to fit the song. The exception was my "Indiana Jones Theme" song. I got the inspiration for that vid from the creation Daniel Jackson t-shirt from 2 years ago.

A couple of the ones I've done for Creation have sort of started with idea first. Like the Michael intro vid they made a request for. But even then, it was all about finding the song, not the verse or chorus, that would serve the purpose.
